I know this is an old thread, however i have an card that meets the requirements to be tested by the patches made by andy, and so far with what i've tried it's been doing really well for input. I pretty much just downloaded and tested Andy's patch set... http://linuxtv.org/hg/~awalls/cx23885-ir2 The tests where done on ubuntu 10.04 with kernel 2.6.32-23-generic (64-bit) and this appears to be working perfectly. (This even properly identifies the card I'm using down to the model) card notes: Hauppauge WinTV-HVR1250 (Model: 79001) oh and the only change i made to the test is i commented out the 4 lines in the makefile that generate the firedtv module so i could compile the tests -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
